To Defend a Kingdom
Kingdom against Kingdom
were the Persians and the Greeks.
Greeks defending a Persian invasion
resulting in great sea battle leaks.
A sea of frothing madness
brings forth every blood and gore
and a piercing anguishing sadness
to the very heart of its human core.
The Battle of Salamis
proved pivotal in history
because without this Greek triumph
our civilization would never be.
@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry 2014
This poem was written after having seen the Movie: 300: Rise of an Empire. This battle was a moment in history. I could not get the graphic pictures out of the my mind. It was a bit of history coming alive for me.
